The tall right-hander split the summer of '95 between the Southern Oregon A's (2-3, Sv, 2.96) and Huntsville Stars (3 R in 6 2/3 IP). In 1996, he had a 11-7, 3.98 record and one save for the West Michigan Whitecaps. Moving up to the Visalia Oaks in 1997, he put together a 11-10, 5.93 campaign. He was one win shy of tying for the lead among A's farmhands. In his final season, 1998, he struggled out of the bullpen for Visalia (3-3, Sv, 7.12, 71 H in 48 IP) but did well in his brief AAA stint with the Edmonton Trappers (0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 4 2/3 IP over 3 G). His career record in pro ball was 27-23, 4.87.
